Gravity dispense at Craft 100, CBC Clapham, 18/09/14. Clear golden with moderate off white spotting and edgework. Nose is bitter orange, dark fruit ntoes, spice, bread dough, light citric sherbets. Taste comprises orange, light grapefruit, straw, mineral notes, earthy hop. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Drinkable if bland for the style, lacks hops, ESB more appropriate I think.

Cask (Euston Tap, London) - Golden with a slight haze and a white head. Passion fruit, lychees and grapefruit in the aroma. Hoppy and fairly dry taste with notes of grapefruit, peach, lemon and passion fruit.

Clear golden beer with a grassy citrus aroma. Flavour is grassy and floral citrus with a bitter-sour follow-up. Light but rich. A touch cooler and it’d be my perfect sunny afternoon beer.

Cask at the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a big super frothy white head. The aroma is big yeast citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big hop bitter, yeast, zesty citrus, light medicinal palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Refreshing for sure but I’m not convinced by the aftertaste.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy gold beer, small white bubbly head. Palate is light and semi dry, light fine carbonation. Milf floralness goes well with light lemony hops and a touch of marmalade. Semi dry finish. Light and pretty drinkable.

Cask at Leeds Int. BF. Nearly black. Tight, thin, pale brown head. Lots of roast coffee. Chocolate. Dark, roast malt. Some tar in there. Lovely big, thick, tasty beer that I ended up rushing to go catch a train. Would love to try again, and take time over it.
